AI-polished GitHub issues are making bug reports worse

Bug reports lose value when LLM rewrites replace observed facts with confident guesses. Keep reports to commands, expectations, actual output, and exact logs; faster triage beats verbose analysis.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Useful report shape is four fields: command run, expected result, actual result, exact error or log.
  2. LLM rewrites often add fake minimal repros, guessed root causes, and irrelevant error classes. That slows maintainers down.
  3. Best workflow: use AI to shorten wording, not invent diagnosis. Preserve the human observation as the source of truth.
